About the Alumni Epsilon Chapter

A student member of Sigma Tau Delta does not have to leave the Society upon graduation. He or she may join the Alumni Epsilon Chapter.

What is the purpose of this chapter?

As a practical matter many alumni lose contact with Sigma Tau Delta because they "move on." They graduate, develop careers, and have families. Often, because their schedules change after graduation, they lose contact with their local university chapters.

The Alumni Epsilon Chapter will facilitate ongoing communication and networking between Sigma Tau Delta alumni and the activities of Sigma Tau Delta at the national level.

How do Sigma Tau Delta alumni benefit from chapter membership?
